Northern Highlands coach Tara Madigan says the junior defender Kelly is a player she could put almost anywhere on the field, and it’s thanks to her vision to see the game better than most players her age. A lot like her partner along Northern Highlands backline in fellow junior Morgan Bussaca, Kelly plays a smartly simple game predicated on speed.

Don’t be shocked to see a player of Kelly’s caliber and speed shooting up a sideline seam for scoring opportunities just as much as she’s playing the role of stealth as an outside back in front of Northern Highlands goalkeeper and another junior in Kayla Klatt.
